Lamar Odom’s Former Teammates, Coaches Check in on Him

Lamar Odom’s recovery from his life-threatening collapse at a Nevada brothel is continuing in an ultra-high security wing of Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles.Khloe Kardashian’s estranged husband reportedly damaged his organs so severely by his near-fatal overdose at a Las Vegas brothel that he is on dialysis. The former NBA player has made progress since being transported to California from Las Vegas a week ago but is battling depression and further tests on his kidneys and lungs are required.

Due to the high level of public and media interest in Odom’s condition, the hospital is keeping him in a section of the facility reserved for celebrity patients that has a round-the-clock security detail, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. According to a report by TMZ, law enforcement sources at the Nye Country Sheriff’s Department received the results of tests taken from the NBA star while he was at the Sunrise hospital in Las Vegas.

Khloe Kardashian’s estranged husband was treated at the hospital for six days before he was moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last week. Nye County Sheriff Sharon Wehrly confirmed last week that it was “distinctly possible,” that Odom could be prosecuted if he tested positive for cocaine.

It comes after the two prostitutes who raised the alarm after finding Lamar Odom unconscious told police that they heard him snorting an unknown substance while in the brothel. In a search warrant affidavit, Nye County Sheriff’s Detective Michael Eisenloffel gave sworn testimony, with the belief that Lamar had “ingested” illegal drugs. During the testimony, which took place at 10:15pm on October 13th (the same day Odom had been discovered unconscious), Eisenloffel revealed that he had spoken to Love Ranch prostitutes Ryder Cherry and Monica Monroe. According to reports today, Khloe has made it clear to Lamar that she’ll help him through his recovery, but only if he turns his back on his drug past for good.
